The book provides a great collection of federal documents about grant writing and federal grants, with tips and resources about grantseeking and grant proposals, and excerpts with the best information from the official Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance on the agencies offering grants and other forms of assistance! The CD-ROM has a collection of fully updated and revised federal documents and resources on government grants and government assistance programs. Next-generation search technology now allows complete indexing and makes all files on the disc fully searchable! Our reproduction of the CFDA alone would be substantially less expensive than the printed version offered by the Government Printing Office at $63. As the catalog itself says, "Get started today exploring the amazing world of grants and loans provided by the Federal Government!" This disc, however, goes far beyond just the CFDA!
